Pine GROVE is now at the front as a
mining town, having two quartz mills
in operation. Not so much can be
said of every place in the county. The
people living in other small towns
have to be satisfied with Que mill or
make the best of the situation at
least, but not so in Pine Grove.
The Pioneer mill has been repaired
by the owners of the Wheeler mine
and there is good supply of ore on
hand which is expected to to turn out
thousands of dollars. The Wilson's
have great quantity of ore at their
mill, and plenty more left in the mine,
which is being taken out as fast as
possible. The Wilson mill is running
steadily aud the old order of things is
being resumed.
The Cambridge mill is also running
that is, if snail can he said to run
when it craws. Its time IS not lost
in eternity too soon, and the owner OF
the mill does not stop the machinery,
1t will probably make way with all
the ore there is out of the mines. 1t is
very unfortunate for the people in the
vicinity of Cambridge that a new
quartz mill was not built last Spring,
as was hoped for and almost expected
at one time. x

Serious Accident.

Friday afternoon about two o'clock,
while coming to Dayton with load Of
wood from Plpenul, Hero Kennedy
met with a serious accident. He was
driving six animal team, and when
coming down hill just this side of
the coal mine on the Eldorado Canyon
road the brake on the wagon gave
way and the heavy load rushed down
the hill onto the animals. Mr. Ken
needy was thrown from the wagon in
such Q manner that "a large stick hit
his left leg between ths knee and the
hip, breaking the bone squarely off.
The horses and the mules in the team
ran mile or more. and the wheeleis
were somewhat hurt, while the mules
in the swing were SO seriously injured
that they had to be killed. Another
team was coming along behind Mr..
Kennedy, driven by jim Millsap who
took up the injured man and brought
linn to Dayton. where he arrived about
SIX o'clock. Dr. Conn was imme-
dial9ly telegraphed tor and set the
the broken bone, and said the break
was not u complicated one at all, and
he thinks his patient will mend rapid
iy enough to be around in six weeks.

A poor man who lived near the Gen.

tea.kettle, and asked him to mend IT..
The soldering tools and fire pot were
promptly got and all unnecessary
holes in the kettle were soon stopped.
When the job was finished the man
asked how much was to pay, and the
general replied nothing but the pleas
ure OF mending your pot when it leaks
again. Levy is more generous than
General Oglethorpe: he is not only
willing to put eyes in mourning free
of cost, but he also cheertully pays for
the privilege.

THE COMING BUSINESS.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Being interested in Kansas and its peo-
pie, and knowing the general complaint
that farming does not pay, | wish to
speak through you to the farmers of your
vicinity of the advantages of the coming
industry.
Canning is one of the greatest sources
of profit to the farmers, and indirectly to
every person in the county. The busi-
ness was begun in a very small way by a
single individual about twenty wears
ago. but as our people saw the profits to
be derived from it, it spread rapidly until
nearly one-half of our county depends
upon canning and the raising of fruits
and vegetables for that purpose The
chief products packed are sugar corn and
tomatoes, of which this county supplies
almost half of the total product
of the Union, and frequently
amounts to over $1,000. .0G0 a wear.
OF this amount about one-half goes 10
the Baltimore manufacturers of cans.

divided between the farmers and labor

know of several instances within five
miles of where | write. of crops yielding
at the rate of $50 per acre for sugar corn
and 800 or over Tor tomatoes this sea-
son.
Nearly every farmer owning fifty acres
or more in those sections of our county
near 10 railroad or other shipping points
has a canning house.
From what know of Kansas | believe
Its soil and climate both better adapted

MEADE CENTER AFFAIRS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The brethren of the goose quill. under
one of those random inspirations which
come to all the craft, have been giving a
sobriquet to their different cities. For
instance, Leavenworth is the .'Dasliing
Diamond of the Plains Wichita is the
Peerless Princess OF the Plains, Hutch
is the Sweet Sorceresa OF the Plains.
The muse Of Meade Center struck the
town last night and today she publishes
her nom de plume to a listening world.
1t is-well-the Southwestern Queen.
This modest. blushing maiden claims no
equality with her big sisters. The time
the scriptures are the word
of God, and they say the
first shall be last and the last first. SO

ern Queen bide4 her time. In the future,
her modesty will enhance her charms,
and that she is modest, no one can ques-
ton. Born with as much Of that pre-
cious quality as any Kansas town, she
wasted none of her virtues or an unap-
preciated world. But in the day when
the great and generous Rock Island, the
Santa F'e and the d. NJ. & A. meet in
loving union on her streets, she viii be
heard from.
But in this galaxy. the queen will toler
ate no jealousieS or pickering or envying.
Her big sisters must keep the peace, or
young as she is, she well assert
her royal prerogative. This great
state is wide enouhh for all, and
room to spare. Let each star keep its
orbit, for each has its peculiar radiance
and its destiny TO fulfill. The Sweet
SOrCeress may give over her boring for a
strata of rock salt; nature has given the
Queen a salt well. over hundred feet in
diameter. of twice the saline strength Of
the ocean. and the facilities for ocean
bathing viii be one Of her Institutions liz
the near future. Yes. sir: ocean baths

WEALTHY WICHITA.
q Few Interesting Facts Not Generally
Understood.

Wealth is power, and when combined
with enterprise and energy there is moth
ing within the compass of human ambi-
ton in the matter of material greatness
and Development that may not be reach
ed and realized by these when united.
Chicago and Kansas City were found
ed and have been built in the face OF
discouraging predictions, and in spite OF
almost unsurmountable real obstacles.
Energy guided by enterprise and backed
by the wealth, by the money which IN
fact flowed directly from the business
begotten of this same wonderful enter
prise, have made these cities. In short,
that kind Of enterprise and energy which
build successful cities, or founds or
sustains any material mission, directly
and inevitably produces that upon which
it feeds-produces sustaining wealth
Wichita is not only the wealthiest city
the state of Kansas, but she has greater
number of wealthy individuals. whose
spirit of enterprise seems simply immeas-
urabie. and the results of which have
always flowed back upon the city and
upon themselves in re-dolbling and ever
increasing streams of wealth
To verify, or otherwise, statement
made by this paper as a reply to declar-
alton of Topeka paper. d few days
since, the local agent for Dun & Co., as
sisted by the attorney Of Bradstreets
and by the city assessor, undertook, from
the reports of those agencies, from the
tax rolls and from the personal knowl-
edge of the assessor. TO ascertain some
thing of Wichita real wealth and who
represents it. The results of that labor
are very instructive and interesting. The
total wealth Of two hundred of our lead
ing capitalists figures up nineteen million
six hundred thousand dollars One hun:
dred and sixty-one men are worth $50 900
each and upwards. Sixty-three men and
two women are worth 100000 and up
wards each. Twenty-three men are
worth 100000 each or upwards.
Nine men are worth 100000 and up
wards each. Three are worth a half mil
lion or more each.
These values or estimates are not based
on wild figures or upon fancy prices for
real estate, but are amounts and sums
totals over and above all liabilities which
could be realized in cash out of the
estates of the individuals enumerated.
OF course this list does not include the
wealthy non-residents who own large
properties here and some of whom spend
much time here, but whose actual homes
are elsewhere.
From the abovefacts it will be readily
seen and understood why Wichita sue
ceeds, always, and why no opposition,
however formidable, or well planned, af-
fects her growth. Money is power and
twenty millions is heap Of it.

night at the court house. Nearly every
one responded. and the court room was
crowded TO its utmost capacity. The OBJ
iect of the meeting was announced. sew
eral speeches setting forth the necessities
of Wichita'S making herself the greatest
packing center of the west were made,
and subscription lists opened at O'Clock.
The widest enthusiasm prevailed. and in
little more than an hour and half $91.
had been subscribed of the S115 200 nee
essary for the bonus and site. All day
Saturday committees kept actively at
work. and within twenty hours after the
first dollar was subscribed the necessary
amount was assured. Afterward do
nations of land We're solicit
ed. That remaining after the
location of the packing house is to be
held in trust for the board OF trade and
be used by them for locating other indus
tries here Messrs. Dold will be here to-
morrow TO close negotiations The activ-
ity displayed by the citizens of Wichita
is without parallel. but characteristic OF
the city. Already beneficial effects of
the Inauguration of packing interests are
being felt, and others are seeking loca-
tions here.
Every indication points TO as great, if
not greater. activity and increase IN real
estate values than last winter. Eastern
money has begun TO pour in and bank
deposits in the past two weeks have
grown very percePibly. The solidity Of
Wichita was never as apparent as now,
and every one has the utmost faith IN
the speedy and constant growth of the
